Behavioural Interventions for Sleep Disorders Training Course

Thursday 21 November 2024 – Online (Microsoft Teams)

Cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a well-established and scientifically validated system for the treatment of chronic insomnia. It leads to significant and durable improvements in sleep that extend well beyond the end of the therapy. It is also effective in patients with comorbid medical and psychiatric disorders and can lead to improvements in those comorbid disorders. CBT-I can be delivered as a package, but it is composed of a number of separate, circumscribed techniques that can be delivered individually in a routine consultation.

Learning outcomes

• Learn effective brief behavioural interventions for the treatment of insomnia
• Learn how to do imagery rehearsal and rescripting therapy for nightmares
• Understand how to apply some of these techniques to other sleep disorders
